Chapter Text
It was so pale, soft, torn fabric hanging from its lifeless limbs. Head draped low where it hung, arms drifting at its sides and feet moving softly back and forth. It's hair was long and white draped over its face making it impossible to see what its face looked like. Probably for the best.
My stomach twisted and sunk as my eyes looked over it. There was a looming sense of dread in the room, a soft creaking from the wooden floors and the sound of wind hissing through the cracks in the walls.
Taking a step closer I felt tears beading in my eyes. I didn't know this person, I had no emotional attachment to them, so why did I feel like weeping over them? I felt scared, this house this place… it was...wrong. From another room I could hear water dripping and looked up suddenly for the source of the sound and why it had started so suddenly.
Finding nothing I turned my head back to look up at the body, to find its head upright and looking directly at me.
It was the eyes. Two white orbs with dark red scars where the pupils should be, the scars cracked out over the eyes like lightning and I was transfixed by them so much that I felt my body lock up and freeze.
It looked at me and its mouth slowly opened allowing a flow of thick black liquid to pour out of its mouth slowly and glob towards the floor. When it reached the cracked floor boards it slowly started pooling and drifting towards me. However I wasn't looking at the sludge, I was looking at its eyes. I watched as the scars spread causing its eyes to go blood red and emit a soft glow. I was frozen in fear I couldn't move my feet or even let out a terrified scream. I could just stand… and wait.
Slowly, it lifted off of the hook it hung from and lowered until it was standing in the thick black ooze. A soft growl escaped its lips and I felt the sludge it hit my foot, slow trendles starting to climb my leg.
